Amazingly Fun Movie with Great Effects and Action Scenes

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2013)

Pacific Rim has everything I expect from a quality, smart action movie.
The effects are perfect and the design of the Jaegers and Kaiju are creative and on par with previous Del Toro's visual feasts like Pan's Labyrinth.
The characters are very likable with special mentions to the great performances of Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi and Charlie Hunnam.
Rinko Kikuchi in particular is very talented as she makes her character adorable and bad-ass at the same time. Ron Perlman is perfect as Hannibal Chau.
The fight scenes and accompanying music are adrenaline ridden and breathtaking. The scale of the battles between giants among a crumbling city is epic as it should be.
And speaking of the soundtrack, it has one of the best music I've heard in recent years.
A instant classic and a movie experience all movie lovers deserve to watch.
Side note: I would throw all my money to watch a Pacific Rim x Godzilla Crossover.
